A Note From The Editor Please Plan on attending the next meeting
Brother Knights and Guests Scott Javins, with Precision Training and Tactics, Inc. will be presenting a summary of his classes on gun safety and self defense at our next scheduled council meeting on August 22nd, 2016. A social hour at 5:30 pm, followed by a steak dinner at approximately 6:30 pm. will be followed by Scott Javins presentation, before our business meeting. Information about Scott can be obtained atwww.precisiontrainingandtactics.com or by email at pttincorporated@gmail.com. All Knights and guests of St. James Knights of Columbus Council 1728 are welcome. I recently attended his Level 1 class in order to obtain a concealed carry permit. I found his class to be most informative and quite an experience with his class room lessons and firearm shooting experience at the range. Scott teaches a variety of classes, including handgun, carbine, shotgun, and long distance. But, more importantly, a number of options on how to defend yourself in a gun free zone as well as the utilization of a number of less lethal options for those that don't want to carry fire arms. Brother Knights, bring a guest and/or a brother Knight to the social and dinner and then the presentation by Scott. Thank you, Jim Bogner, PGK
District Deputy Report
Mitch O’Neill D.D. #24 Brothers,
Membership is what drives the vitality of the Council. New members bring new ideas, and new energy to the council.
The State-wide membership goal is one member per council per month. We are currently lagging behind. The best way to get new members is simply "ask". Have you asked someone to become a Knight lately? If not, perhaps it's time to give it a try. One item announced at the District 24 planning meeting was to have a First, Second, and Third Degree on October 23 in Kearney. However, do NOT make a candidate wait to get his First Degree! Every council has the DVD from Supreme, so there is no reason to have a potential knight waiting to join. If you need help, contact me and I will assist you. Vivat Jesus, Mitch O'Neill, District Deputy 24 Phone: (308) 440-3330 Email: oneillm@unk.edu

and have been a member for a short time is the reason he was nominated as

Royals Baseball
We are interested in knowing who and how many people would be
interested in a bus trip to a Royals baseball game. Tickets could cost
between 25 & 40 dollars. This varies on seat level, date ordered and a
minimum order of 20. Possible dates of September 16th at 6:15 m. and
or September 17th at 3:15 pm. Transportation and possible lodging
would still be needed to calculate a cost. Further information will be
available with more feedback from you. This is not limited to Knights
and family. Maybe a prospective Knight. Call PGK Jim Bogner @ 308-
380-3603 or text or email, jamesbogner@hotmail
4th Degree News Sir Knights, The summer seems to be moving along quickly as time waits for no one. There are many things we try to do and it appears we always run short of time. If you or anyone you know needing some help to do some of these little things, now is the time to ask. With the summer winding down, we will resume our meetings starting on Sept. 12 at 7:30 P.M. The Nebraska State Fair will be coming up Aug. 27 to Sept. 5 and in the past we have taking part of the parades. I will send out an email to see who would be able to attend. P.S. The annual K of C picnic is scheduled for Sept.11 starting at noon at the fairgrounds. All knights and their families are invited to attend. Join us for an afternoon of food and fun.

Protecting Widows – A Founding Goal
As a member of this council, you know how important spouses can be to the
charitable works of the Order. If you’re married, your wife is probably involved in a
few of the many events that happen each fraternal year. This support adds great value
and impact to what a council can achieve.
When the Order was founded in 1882, Father Michael J. McGivney and the other
brave men were setting out to protect Catholic families, but especially wives and
children. Today, we remain committed to this mission by offering insurance products
and fraternal benefits designed with that goal in mind. One specific policy rider that
you may not know about is called Spousal Waiver of Premium. This rider is unique to
the Knights of Columbus philosophy of helping our widows.
This rider is available on most permanent and Discoverer plans purchased at standard
rates by a member and his wife on the same day. When both spouses apply, the rider
provides for waiver of premiums on the spouse’s contract in the event of the insured’s
death. Best of all, for members and spouses ages 18 to 60, this waiver can be added
for no charge. The rider stays in effect until the spouse attains age 65 or certain other
triggering events occur.
Our products are designed with your needs and budget in mind. With a solid portfolio
of life insurance, long-term care, disability income and retirement products, the
Knights of Columbus can help you meet all of your financial goals. To learn more
about these solutions, contact me today.

It is a time for an update.
We had a week that only 2 guys showed up to help.
If the month that you are on isn’t working for you give me a call
and I can move you.
